THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Rock on with the Goldwaters [John J. Miller]
Had I known about The Goldwaters before Lee Edwards loaned me his LP from 1964, I might have included their ditty "Win in '64" on this list. At any rate, Mike Long and I have written about "the greatest right-wing folk group ever to pluck a banjo" on NRO today. Embedded in the piece are downloadable mp3 files—to the best of our knowledge, you won't find them anywhere else on the web.

WRONG.
I think this got posted because it sounds so dorky.
P. S. Excerpts also here. These masterworks have further appeared on WFMU.org. Bozos.
